Chapter 4
"Oh look, Potter and his little Weasles and mudblood are going scrounging for food. Isn't that sweet?" Draco Malfoy sneered, as he glared at the group.
"Don't you think if you're going to insult us, you could at least come up with something better than Potter, Weasles, and mudblood? Honestly, you're starting to be just as boring as Professor Binns," Hermione shot back.
Draco didn't turn scarlet as Ron would've, but patches of pink appeared on his pale face.
"Might want to watch your mouth Granger, you never know when a death-eater could be around," Draco sneered.
"Well, since half of Voldermort's death-eaters are in Azkaban, including your father, I think we can say what we want, but thanks for the warning," Ron said quickly.
The group swiftly walked away and set off to find a place to eat. They finally found a place, and sat down and started to talk while waiting for their food.
"Ron, do you realize that was the first time you actually said Voldermort's name?" Hermione questioned.
"Yeah, I was thinking and I decided you were right, there's no reason to be afraid of a name is there?" Ron replied, with a small smile. During lunch, Harry glanced over at Ginny, zoning out from the conversation on the better Quidditch team, the Sparkling Spougots or the Heroic Hippogriffs.
"Oi, Harry! Anyone in there?" George shouted at Harry.
"Wha-What's up?" Harry said quickly, looking away from Ginny.
"What's up with you? You've been staring at my sister for the last 10 minutes," Fred said, smiling, mischievously.
Harry and Ginny both blushed furiously and Harry murmured something about not looking at anything in particular. They quickly ate, and set off into Diagon Alley, looking at the Qudditch Supplies, the bookstore, and a few other shops. Soon, Mrs. Weasley found them.
"Hello dears." Mrs. Weasley said as she gathered Fred and George into a hug. "I was just getting all of the supplies for the people still actually going to Hogwarts," She glaring pointedly at Fred and George
"Dumbledore sent a letter awhile back, offering to reverse the expulsion, but Fred and George said they wanted to stay expelled," Ron explained quietly to Harry.
After Mrs. Weasley fussed over the twins, they flooed back to the Burrow, once Mrs. Weasley confirmed Fred and George would be at dinner.
"Wonderful, more Weasley boys to feed," Mrs. Weasley said, rolling her eyes, but Harry noticed that she did look happy at this bit of news. When they got back to the Burrow, Harry and Ron went up to Ron's room and played Wizard's chess, while the girls sat on chairs on the corner and talked. When they were called downstairs for dinner, Harry walked into the kitchen and was blown away by what he saw.
